Memorandum of Agreement with COMPASS for 2013 Orthophotography Project~.
MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT (MOA 2013-01)
2013 Orthophotography Project
For the purpose of jointly funding an updated set of orthophotos for Ada County, Caldwell, and
Nampa
(UPWP Program 861)
Project Purpose
The u ose of the roject is to acquire 2013 six-inch resolution natural color digital orthophotos
p, ~ p ldwell and Nam a shown as Urban
coverin arts of Ada County, and selected areas in and around Ca p
. g.p
in Exhibit A ,and one-foot resolution natural-color orthophotos covering the rural areas of the same
.. .
area of interest shown as Rural in Exhibit A) as identified by the U.S. Geological Survey for
(
Homeland Security activities.
WHEREAS the arties to this agreement, indicated below in §4, hereafter referred to as "the Parties"
p
and the Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho, hereafter referred to as "COMPASS,"
desire to cooperate in funding an update to the 2010 orthophotos;
WHEREAS the Parties have determined that a comprehensive set of high resolution orthophotos is of
mutual benefit to their respective planning activities and programs;
WHEREAS, the United States Geological Survey hereafter referred to as "USGS," is responding to a
De artment of Defense (DOD) request for high-resolution image and geospatial data in support of
p
Homeland Security. The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has identified Boise as an
area for which imagery is required. NGA data requirements call for one-foot or better resolution
natural-color, leaf off, orthorectified digital imagery. To address this need, USGS has offered funding
in the amount of $50,000 for the purpose of creating a set of updated orthophotos;
WHEREAS, COMPASS coordinated the 2000, 2003, 2007, and 2010 orthophoto acquisitions on
behalf of its participating members and has found a comprehensive set of orthophotos of benefit to its
work in transportation, and regional planning;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Parties agree to the following:
1. COMPASS agrees to obtain the deliverables from the selected consultant. Deliverables include:
a. Spring 2013 orthophotos taken prior to leaf out of trees for the area covered in Exhibit A.
Only digital imagery will be provided as part of this agreement.
b. Said photos to be compatible with the orthophotos taken in years past and meeting the
technical specifications listed in Exhibit B.
2. COMPASS must meet applicable state and federal procurement requirements and its own
procurement process.
3. COMPASS will make available all products for USGS and Earth Resources Observation and
Science archives. Any and all sales of Orthophotography will solely be handled by COMPASS and
any funds generated will go into the Orthophotography fund for future Orthophotography
acquisitions.
